A band / singer I like

The last time I really enjoy to listen a John Frusciante, the guitarist of Red Hot Chili Peppers. Am obsess with his life and his music. I can observe the conflict between him and the guitar when he plays, I feel the love, the pain, the hate when he make his songs. He go to Los Angeles when he has 17, because he want to live a life where he can be how he really is. Frusciante wants to live a life of sex, drugs and rock and roll, not because the pleasures, he feel that´s is the place where he belong. Years later, he meet with the RHCP, and plays for so many years, until the band eject he because your drug adiccition. He become to asceticism for two years and leave the drugs and the sex for an spiritual cleanliness. After that, he return to RHCP until 2007, where he abandoned the band to continue his life as a solist. The kind of music that he plays is like rock, indie and funk in some years with the RHCP. I really like so many songs of him, but the better songs that I consider are, "wet sand" and "Under the bridge" with the RHCP, and "My smile is a rifle" as a solist. This songs produce in me a so deep felling of pain, passion and freedom. This songs makes me reflect a lot.

A subject you´ve enjoyed studying this semester

The subjetc that I really enjoyed this semester was sociological theory II. The content was really exciting and fun. This subject change a little my perception about what sociology is. I remember the unity about Chicago School and my teacher Maria Emilia Tijoux talking about Erving Goffman. I remember how I couln´t listen anything else than my teacher. Also, the teacher teaches in such a way that one is able to immerse oneself within the subject. Erving Goffman was a bohemian sociologist and an expert observer. He sat in Bar´s, and listened to other people in the Bar. I really enjoy the idea of do sociology in this way. In this subject we also saw Symbolic interactionism, Structural functionalism and Critical theory. I like see others authors that they were not the classics of always. This subject is so much important to contemporary sociology and helps to understand the society today and how and why is it transformed the last years. In summary, I enjoyed this subject for the new authors and for the important that this subject is.

An expert on my field

I really don´t consider an expert to anybody in my field. I don´t feel that level of admiration. However, I consider to my teacher of teory II a really good sociologist. I respect so much her work. Her name is María Emilia Tijoux. Her is licensed of social sciences in the University of Paris VIII. Actually her is a sociologist of University of Chile and work in investigates about sociology of the body, sociology of the habitus and problems about social domination: body and social structure; body and interaction; body and sensitivity; bodies, knowledge, powers; body and writing, body and confinement. The thing that really cause respect on me, are her works abouts immigration and social discrimination. These areas are not very researched and I think they are so much important. I really enjoy her classes because teacher Tijoux is a very passionate teacher. I remember one class about the school of Chicago. I really love the content and every extra commentary of the class. In my life, is a very little number of teachers that are capable of win my attention every second.

My favorite Festivity

Christmas is celebrated on the 25 of December. This festivity has christian roots. Christmas remember the born of Jesus, son of God. This starts century´s ago. Some people says this festivity start in Latin America in 1492. This festivity was celebrated with the denominated Christmas tree, symbol of love to God. With the past of the time, this celebrity experiment so many transforms. A particular character of this day is Santa Claus, a person with a red suit who fly through the world in a sled carry by reindeer's. This is a religious and familiar festivity, in where the family get together around the Christmas tree and give gifts to each one of them. Although it´s true that celebration become in a really commercial  tradition, is a really good moment to share with your most loved people. The especially thing that I really enjoy of this day, is the dinner. Is a tradition in my family to prepare a big dinner, sometimes a barbecue. Another thing that do in my family is remember all the people that isn´t be in this world, all the people are gone, especially to my godfather. Is a very special moment to everyone.

A photograph

I find this photograph to much eloquent. I don´t known who take this photograph, but it seems to me very interesting. In this photograph I can see a shadow in a deteriorated wall a photograph of a girl, I think she is his daughter. I also observed a box with a so many syringes, those that seem to be drugs. I think this shadow como from a person who had a normal life, but he made many mistakes in his life and lost everything, and he took away all his loves ones. The picture of the virgin makes me believe what he still hope that can recover his life. This photograph makes me think that selfishness for a good while, can destroy to many lifes, not only life itself, also to the life of families, of children. Some times it´s too easy move in your life, do anything you want, and kill any good reason to live.

My best friend

I don´t have to many friends, because to me a friend is a person that I can really trust. And if there is a person I can really trust, is my best friend Diego. I met him 8 years ago. I changed to a new school, and i knew to Diego here, we were classmates. I consider Diego my best friend, because he is, maybe the only person who has been in the good and the bad times, even in the darkest times. The best memory I have of him, it´s 4 years ago, when because for a disease, I finish in the hospital for three weeks. In this time, i was really lonely, the only person what was going, was my mom, not even my brothers going to see me. But unexpetedly, Diego went to see me almost all days to the hospital. For this and to many things more, he always be my friend. 

My favorite piece of technology

Well, in technology themes i don’t know much, but if exist a piece of technology that i consider really important in this times, is the cellphone.
The cellphone is really useful to be in your social networks, and in case of emergency, this thing helps you to communicate with anybody. My mom gifted to me my first cellphone when i was 13, because i started to study away from home, and if anything happened i could call her. Now i use it to talk with my friends and to know university things, I really like the cellphone for this, and because I can use it to listen music. If this technology thing doesn’t exist, maybe the communication with another person would more complicated, but the relations between people would very much real.
